Ametek's New Universal Instrument Panel

Ametek Vehicular Instruments Systems has added the UIP-S Universal Instrument Panel-Specialized to its UIP family of dashboard displays.

The UIP-S instrument display is based on Ametek's Next Generation Instrumentation architecture that can be easily customized to fit a wide range of vehicle categories.

The Ametek UIP-S Instrument Panel features a compact design with a high-impact black ABS housing and scratch-resistant clear cover. It comes equipped with 42 telltales, four minor gauges, two major gauges and a two-by-20 LCD display. Its communications are received through a J1939 Can data bus, analog sensors or discrete switches. The cluster contains advanced micro-stepper motors with increased resolution for smooth needle movement.

The highly functional display indicates J1939 Can engine and transmission data, fuel usage, service data as well as diagnostics, fault codes and self-test capability. Two switches with tactile feedback provide a user interface. It meets all SAE J1455 and J1113 requirements for vehicular instrumentation and has multi-language capability.

The UIP-S instrument panel is based on its NGI modular dashboard instrument system, an alternative to analog gauges found on heavy trucks and other vehicles. The digital multiplexed system lends itself to both new and retrofit applications and is appropriate for a wide range of vehicles, including road-building and construction equipment, trucks and other commercial vehicles, buses, coaches and recreational vehicles, earth-moving and mining equipment, utility and emergency vehicles, farm vehicles and agricultural equipment.
